The best time to drink water and why

Wednesday, January 16th, 2013

Jack Frost is alive and well in most parts of
northern USA. My friends and family report
freezing cold weather and are bundled up in their
winter cocoon. I don’t miss old man winter a bit.
I did enough cold, ice and snow when I lived in
Michigan and Colorado. Sunny Miami Beach is for me
this time of the year! Although it’s been
unusually warm in the high 70’s and even in the
80’s this time of the year, not bad and I am
surely not complaining!
What we are getting in the Sun Belt is strong
winds daily but as long as the ocean doesn’t rise
too quickly….. I am good.

In the Chinese five-element system this time of
the year, “Winter” is ruled by the water element
and corresponds to the Kidney and the Urinary
Bladder. It’s represented by the color blue
or black, has a salty taste and is most associated
with ears, hearing and alert-stillness. The
direction is north and the negative emotion
is fear, and the positive one is wisdom /Awe. As
you would expect the environment is cold,
of course it would be “it’s winter time.”
You may have forgotten how important it is to stay
hydrated all winter. We usually think more about
hydration in the hot summer, but winter cold
weather can dry you out like a prune. There is
less moisture in the air, you are in heated homes
most of the time all of this can suck you dry.
Water is the drink of choice to keep your system
well hydrated.

How many folks do you know who say they don’t want
to drink anything before going to bed because
they’ll have to get up during the
night?!?



Why do people need to urinate so much at
nighttime?

-
Gravity holds water in the lower part of
your body when you are upright (legs swell). When
you lie down and the lower body (legs etc.) seeks
level with the kidneys, it is then that the
kidneys remove the water because it is easier. We
need water to help flush the toxins out of your
body; I bet you didn’t know this; there is a
correct time to drink water… Very Important!
Drinking water at a certain time maximizes
its effectiveness on the body: Two glasses of
water after waking up helps activate internal
organs. One glass of water 30 minutes before a
meal helps digestion, one glass of water before
taking a bath – helps lower blood pressure and a
glass of water before going to bed can help avoid
stroke or heart attack.




Also drinking water at bed time will help prevent
night time leg cramps. Your leg muscles are
seeking hydration when they cramp and wake you up
with a Charlie Horse.

If you have a
blockage in your digestive system your entire body
is out of whack. The problem is that when we get
blocked up, the toxins accumulate in our cells,
blood, tissues and organs. When they are stored
there for any length of time all kinds of health
problems rear their ugly heads. Basically our
digestive track is a large tube running from the
mouth to the anus. If you put in good fuel
(food) and clean water, everything does its job
and moves through the tube unobstructed and you
feel good.

Don’t let your diet plug you up, make you sick and
fat.

There is a product that I have been recommending
to my patients and hundreds of them are getting
great results. It’s called Oxy-hydrate by Qi
Essentials. It oxygenates your body as it detoxes.
Oxy-hydrate magnesium peroxide compound contains
detoxification properties that are revolutionary
in colon care.

A Natural detoxifier Oxy- hydrate works with
nature’s own powerful detoxifiers—oxygen and
minerals —to create the perfect detoxification and
hydration to your colon.
Best of all, it is not a harmful laxative. The
innovative formula helps to put needed moisture
into the intestine.
It provides superior cleaning ability, yet is safe
and gentle on all systems.
A large 180-pill bottle sells for only $26 and can
be shipped directly to you.
Take a good look at this one, it’s a winner!

Don’t Get another Cold!

How many times do you get a cold in a year?
Ones, twice or more?
I used to get a cold every fall and usually a whopper in
the spring as well and I’d be out of commission for at least a
week and if I wasn’t careful I’d end up with a lingering cough to boot.

Usually a person gets a cold when their immune system is
run down and they come in contact with the colds virus.
If you are burning the candle at both ends, stressed to the
max it seems like it’s much easer to pick up a cold.

There are many myths of the common cold.
The fact is, most of them are wrong.
Things like: You can sweat it out– unfortunately,
this does not work – it is completely ineffective.
The Flu Shot can prevent a cold—wrong, sometimes
people get worse colds from the darn shot.
Cold weather can give you a cold—wrong again most
colds are caught in the Spring/Fall seasons.

There is a popular myth that kissing a person with a cold
will cause you to catch it—nope a kiss won’t kill you,
but watch out it is the nasal mucous you have to worry about.
So don’t lick any noses.

The good News when you get symptoms of a cold
(runny nose, coughing, aching body and wiped out)
it can be stopped in its tracks.
If you feel that you are coming down with something don’t
wait another minute, and if you are in the midst of a bad cold
you can lessen the symptoms and duration by days.
Yes, you can get over the sickness quickly… And the treatment is all natural.

I have recommended Vira-Qi to patients, students and
my own family and they are amazed how quickly you can free yourself
of cold symptoms. In fact, take it at the first signs and like magic you will be
feeling great in the morning. Vira Qi is the name, get it today and keep it in
your medicine chest –you will be glad you did.

Harvest moon Detox

Monday, September 12th, 2011

I took a long walk under the great ball of Yin light,
The Harvest moon to balance my energy and cultivate energy

On September 12 at 5:27 a.m. EDT the moon will
be at its fullest.

This moon is celebrated across many cultures.
It’s an especially powerful moon for meditations,
lasting changes and moon magic.

The moon represents Yin the female force.
In the Taiji symbol Yin is represented by the dark half
with the seed of white in it.
The Chinese character means the dark side of a hill which
shows us the roots of the philosophy in the natural world.
It’s the perfect time for making new changes in your life.

As we move into a Fall season things will naturally change
on the planet. Fall is the time for closure, harvest and to
start preparing your body and mind for the winter.

In Chinese medicine Fall is when the lungs and large intestine
are most active.
We are coming into the colds and cough season and it’s
perfect time to strengthen your immune system.

From simple to elaborate, celebrating the harvest moon is part of
clearing the clutter in your mind body and spirit .

A time to turn your thoughts to the comforts of your home as the
cold weather arrives, think of ways to bring your attentions into
the area in your home. Focus your energy on creating the changes that make your life more balanced.

I’ll am personally start a six day detox program to clean out
my system and move into the Fall season as smoothly as possible.

I started my ritual cleanse today, as I do every time the seasons change.
This gives my digestion system a rest and helps to detox the liver, kidneys and lungs.

I started this morning with deep breathing exercise on the beach and
when I got home I started drinking apple juice and water 8 oz. of each
I drink at least a quart of apple juice a day for the next
6 days, with a two day liver flush next weekend.

The liver flush formula:
*Pink grapefruit
*Olive oil
*Garlic
*Lemon
*Blender
Organic is best if you can get it

Take 4 oz. of fresh grapefruit juice
1/2 lemon
2 or 3 tablespoons of olive oil
1 piece of fresh garlic
Blend the mixture until smooth and drink it down. Yum!

It will help to clear potential stones out of the liver and
clear out the colon.
I’ll do this for a few days and follow up with the
two week homeopathic detox kit.
http://www.energymedicineflorida.com/detox-kit.html

This is a great ritual and gets the body ready for the changes in
the season and to help avoid colds, flu and the fall crud.

If you have any questions send me a note at
drwudhi@energymedicine.com

Note: you can cut the apple juice with water for a few days,
as not to shock your system with to much sugar.

Remember: Before you jump on the band wagon
It’s always a good idea to check with your health
professional before starting any detox programs.

I wish you the best in your Health, Wealth and Happiness
